Hinomaru Sumo - Exploring the Intersection of Sumo, Anime, and Manga
Without much other exposure to sumo in the U.S., it's no wonder that so many amateur sumo wrestlers got their first taste for the excitement of this ancient combat sport through their love of anime. In this episode we discuss Hinomaru Sumo, its plot and characters (this is your only spoiler warning), some interesting trivia on how it relates to ancient Japanese weaponry, and how its dramatically shonen portrayal hooked a new wave of sumo enthusiasts. We also share the Hinomaru-style kimarite submissions from our fans!
